- The <link href= "property-data.html" >previous section</link>

- <fork href= "AutoRestore.html"
- >org.apache.fop.fo.properties.AutoRestore</fork> is an example
- of a the next most complex &lt;property&gt; class. In
- addition to all of the common static fields, these classes
- have initial data value types which require the dynamic
- generation of a PropertyValue instance.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The method <code >PropertyValue getInitialValue(int)</code >
- returns an instance of PropertyValue of the appropriate
- subclass containing the initial value for this
- &lt;property&gt;. Like the static data fields, this value is,
- in turn, stored in the array of initial values maintained in
- the <fork href= "../PropertyConsts.html" ><code
- >PropertyConsts</code ></fork> singleton <fork href=
- "../PropertyConsts.html#pconsts" ><code >pconsts</code
- ></fork>.` As with the fields, the first invocation of the
- method <fork href= "../PropertyConsts.html#setupProperty"
- ><code >setupProperty</code ></fork> on the property
- instantiates the singleton instance of the class, and stores
- that instance in the in the <fork href=
- "../PropertyConsts.html#properties" ><code >Property[]
- properties</code ></fork> array of <fork href=
- "../PropertyConsts.html#pconsts" ><code >pconsts</code
- ></fork>.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Unlike the static data fields, however, the initial value is
- not immediately generated. It is generated by a call to <fork
- href= "../PropertyConsts.html#getInitialValue" ><code
- >PropertyValue getInitialValue(int)</code ></fork> in <fork
- href= "../PropertyConsts.html#pconsts" ><code >pconsts</code
- ></fork>. A side-effect of this call is to store the initial
- value in <fork
- href="../PropertyConsts.html#initialValues"><code
- >PropertyValue[] initialValues</code ></fork>.
